Where Blood, Milk, and Thunder witnesses chaos and grief, Bones, Breath, and Fire rises from the ashes.
This second collection is about survival, resilience, rage, joy, and the fierce endurance of ancestry. It is for those who know what it means to burn and rebuild, to carry scars and still spark light.
These are not gentle poems. They are the kind that live in the body long after you've put the book down — in the chest, in the hands, in the place where something old and unbreakable lives.
We are what kept moving
after everything tried.
Bones, Breath, and Fire is the continuation of a collection that began with grief and ends — for now — with fire. It is a testament to endurance. To ancestry. To the women who came before and the ones still becoming.
The chaos and grief of the threshold — birth, loss, and the weight of what it means to hold life in your hands. The beginning of something that needed to be said.

A reckoning with inherited wounds, the harm we cause in our unhealing, and the fierce grace of the daughters who grow toward light anyway.
You'll hear the release date before it goes anywhere else. No waiting for the announcement to reach you — it comes straight to your inbox.
Selected poems from the collection shared before publication. A first look at the words before the rest of the world sees them.
Notes from inside the writing process. What this collection is becoming, what it's asking of her, and what it's asking of the reader.
The first collection came from standing at the threshold — from the births and the losses and the long drives home. This one comes from something deeper. From the women who survived those thresholds and kept going anyway. From ancestry. From rage that has somewhere to go. From joy that earned itself.
Bones, Breath, and Fire is not a sequel. It's what happens after you've grieved. It's what you become when you decide to stay.
